****I ONLY GAVE 1 STAR BECAUSE NONE WASNT AN OPTION**** We checked in Friday about 8pm for memorial day weekend with 2 kids excited for the pool and splash pad, only to learn it wasn't functioning. Room wasn't cleaned or stocked Saturday while we were gone all day and I had to go to the front desk for towels for showers. Room wasn't cleaned sunday...had to request after 3pm towels and stuff were at least restocked and all the sand be swept off the floors. I was told by the front desk they only had 1 housekeeper with alot of rooms, but I never seen more than 10 cars in the parking lot the entire weekend including ours. Beds were ok, pillows could have been better. Shower and water were good. Nice beach view from our balcony. Not sure I would recommend to anyone or stay here again.

Beachfront at the edge of town

We stayed at this hotel about 20 years ago, and love the location on the beach. The rooms have been completely renovated.
